McCann in ? Or out ?

What was the reaction to McCann at the end today? Anything happen?

 

I hope there's more to that than wishful thinking. Surely Blackpool has to be must win. I was prepared to give him 10 games but didn't expect to be bottom on results despite some tricky fixtures.

It's not even like we're competing in games. I have no issue with 4-3-3 - plenty of sides play that way successfully without being completely open to a quick break and seem to be able to find their forwards cohesively in dangerous areas too.

The young talent he's here to supposedly develop are going backwards. 18 months on its still men against boys and he still reacts too late or not at all to changes.

I've no doubt he'll have a career and maybe with experience will manage at this level again, but underestimating the division to the point he feels we don't need proven experience in the back 4 and instead going with kids who have never played the level is just pure arrogance and naivety.

It's detrimental to the young talent to be putting them in this situation. It's the total opposite of developing them.

 

I understand he’s not been given a decent budget, we have a young team. I’m not convinced many of them will be great at this level. However if terry was seen to be changing things formation etc then I’d have a bit more sympathy for him. However his refusal is ridiculous and his stubbornness to admit it’s ever his fault just annoys me

 

Has anyone got a link to his post match interview today ? I think I'm fairly certain what he'll say, played well, worldly goal and free kick, working hard, just not getting the rub of the green, it was the kit man's fault he washed it in persil not aerial !!!!!!!!

 

Whats been the common denominator in all the signings McCant has made.... quote "I worked under him at Peterborough (where he was sacked after losing 7 on the spin) or Doncaster... " thats the bar.... division 3 players..

 

This is absolutely bang on... he's sending these players backward not forward and as club with a business model of developing young players and selling them, other than KLP who will leave for peanuts, just who else is someone going to come calling for they're hardly feeling positive about the club and their prospects I suspect...

 

Two January's ago, we began the steep fall off the edge of the Championship cliff, moving directly downwards in slow motion into the abyss of League One. No rescue attempt was initiated. This year, the fall off the cliff has begun early. The slow motion movement downwards seems inexorable...it is as if the owners live in a dream world where no one is capable of penetrating their minds to enlighten them of our clear and present danger. The normal course of action is to change managers, not with an etched-in-stone belief that this will result in salvation but that it might result in salvation. Will it happen? Who knows? Would a Turkish takeover stymy the fall? Who knows? Will the current status quo change our downward course?...that is looking more and more looks like a big zero to me.

 

Big fear is this time we won't bounce back .

 

'harangued' is the best word I can think of.

 

Blunderside post match interview was a absolute piss take.

 

Definition of harangued: to speak to someone or a group of people, often for a longtime, in a forceful and sometimes angry way, especially to persuade them.

Sounds about right based on his previous. Did he throw any players under the bus, another common feature. Of course he's a good man manager....My ****ing arse he is.

 

Fk me just listened to the post match interview by Gollum Lloyd, first time I've wanted to punch both the interviewee and the interviewer !!!!!

 

My mistake- I don't think they were trying to persuade him.

 

Oh I thought you were talking about his interview, which it would fit perfectly! I read you're post wrong.

 

To be fair, if they put up a decent interviewer on post match duty then McCant spits his dummy out and refuses to speak to them.

 

I don't think he's a good coach, but whilst we're all throwing mud, remember we're in the top six run clubs in the country. Remember where we were and who's put us here.

What did you expect? As the old cliche goes, 'you can't polish a turd'.

I feel for Grant McCann and for any manager that replaces him if the Allams are still in charge.

 

I don't feel for McCann, he knew exactly what he was letting himself in for. His arrogance and thin skin in interviews sums him up. He's out of his depth and his defensive personality characteristics are not positives.

 

Theres probably no point in replacing him if the Allams continue in charge. Won't make a **** of difference.

 

Has the Turk blocked the club on his phone yet.... or is 'he' moving the goalposts and reducing the price after every defeat...

 

And so will the next man, I wish the next man all the best.
